‘Design Village Ratchada’ Grand Opening New Community Living Mall in the Heart of Bangkok Sets Finest Lifestyle Norm with Good Living, Good Eats & Good Health for Ratchadanistas

Design Village, a leader in ‘community living malls’ under the management of Boonthavorn Retail Corporation Co., Ltd., officially launched Design Village Ratchada today. Spanning over 13 rai of land on Ratchadaphisek Road, this community living mall now springs into operation under the investment budget of more than 400 million baht to fulfill every aspect of living and set the ‘Finest Lifestyle Norm.’ Targeting Ratchadanistas (a term coined for people living coolly in Ratchadaphisek zone), this complex presents Good Living, Good Eats and Good Health based on The Seamless Aspiring Destination on Ratchada concept. This is the ultimate space where work, leisure, and wellness seamlessly blend for enhanced quality of life.

Mr. Sitthisak Tayanuwat, Chief Executive Officer of Boonthavorn Retail Corporation Public Company Limited said, “Design Village was born out of our commitment to adapting to market trends and evolving consumer lifestyles. With Boonthavorn customers becoming more meticulous and spending more time selecting products, this led to the development of Design Village as an extension of Boonthavorn. The project expands beyond our core offerings by incorporating additional retail spaces, including restaurants, services, and wellness businesses. This transformation elevates and modernizes Boonthavorn’s services, allowing us to better serve both existing and new customer segments.”

Before today’s launch, the company had already operated 4 Design Village branches. They were: (1) Design Village Ratchaphruek or the first branch, opened in 2018; (2) Design Village Phutthamonthon, opened in 2020; (3) Design Village Kaset-nawamin, opened in 2021; and (4) Design Village Bangna, opened in 2023. These 4 branches stand as a testament to the company’s success in adapting to consumer behaviors and optimizing space for maximum benefit. Building on this momentum, Boonthavorn Retail Corporation has now transformed Boonthavorn Ratchada into Design Village Ratchada or the fifth Design Village branch.

“Boonthavorn Ratchada is the birthplace of the Boonthavorn empire and network. We have grown alongside the Ratchada area, which has now emerged as one of Bangkok’s new central business districts (New CBD), As a result, the surrounding area has become increasingly vibrant and offers great potential for business growth. While this neighborhood may seem fully developed, locals continues to seek new, differentiated and fine experiences. Recognizing this demand, we have seen an opportunity to elevate our services by transforming our outlet into a Community Living Mall—a destination designed to fulfill every lifestyle. Our mall promises to deliver the experiences Ratchadanistas are looking for, upgrading their quality of life and making their ordinary days extraordinary,” Mr. Sitthisak added.
